By Matthew Kennedy | Updated 10 June 2026

Spartan King is a new slot release from Pragmatic Play and is themed on the blockbuster movie 300. This is a 40 payline slot with wagering starting from 20p up to £100 per spin.Features include wilds, scatters, colossal wilds, and multiplier wilds.

Slot details

Playable across all devices this 5 reel video slot has a high variance and an RTP of 96.6%.The reels are flanked by marble columns which sit on a backdrop of a rocky mountain with a river and a waterfall in the distance. The graphics are impressive, and the stirring soundtrack goes well with the theme.Symbols are nicely detailed with Jack to the Ace royals, a ship, a sword, a helmet, and a warrior. The latter is the most lucrative and is worth x7.5 your wager for 5 on a payline.The wild is the warrior wearing a helmet and only lands on the 2^nd to 5th reels. It awards you with x10 your wager for 5 on a payline and also substitutes all symbols barring the red flag scatter.

Gameplay

3, 4, or 5 scatters landing in view on a single spin pays out x1, x5, and x20 your wager and awards you 8, 10, or 12 free spins respectively. The shield is a 2×2 wild and has a random multiplier attached worth up to x25. The free spins can be re-triggered without any limits.

Verdict

Spartan King offers nothing we haven’t seen before, but the colossal wild with random multipliers can boost your winnings nicely. Potential wins can be worth up to x7,480 your wager, but this slot can be brutal unless you are a seasoned player and know what you are doing. It’s not for the faint-hearted but is definitely an action-packed slot game with potential.
